Introducing KCI’s Nano Ceramic Coatings Technology

KCI is the leader in detergent nano ceramic coatings. Now there is only one product that cleans, coats, and

seals. Most testing was done at 80 degrees. No more pH adjustment. Superior to iron phosphate coatings. Nano ceramics are eco-friendly.

N-8028 is a non phosphate detergent nano ceramic coating. It may be used in a one stage (or higher) spray or soak washer. N-8028 is used to treat all types of metal substrates. This product is an excellent alternative for customers in areas where phosphate discharges are not permitted. N-8028 provides excellent paint corrosion protection. If using a high quality powder coating you can expect a salt spray endurance between 500 to 1000 hours. If the application is a wet coat using a premium paint, expect a salt spray endurance of 100 to 200 hours.

N-8028 is a one package system, no more pH adjustment. N-8028 can clean, coat and seal with using only one product.

According to the experts, nano ceramic coatings are superior to iron phosphates in both powder and wet coat applications. Nano ceramics are highly eco-friendly.

KCI’s proof that N-8028 does provide a nano ceramic coating on the surface of the steel.

Competition Versus KCI Industrial Chemicals. Competition does not have the experience with 80 degree

cleaning. KCI is the leader in detergent nano ceramic coating technology. Nano ceramics are non-pollutants. Manufacturing no longer has to worry about phosphate discharge. Both non phosphates & nano ceramics can achieve 1,000 to 1,500

salt spray hours on some powder coatings. But only nano ceramic coatings can achieve salt spray hours of 100 to 200 hours on wet coat painting operations.

Competitor’s nano ceramic coating versus KCI’s nano ceramic coating. Both sets of panels were coated with Color Coatings water base grey baking enamel.

The two panels on the left were treated by the competitor’s nano ceramic coating in a lab environment. A minimum of a 3 stage pretreatment system was used.

The two panels on the right were treated with KCI’s N-8028 in the lab with a 3 stage pretreatment system. Panels were treated at 90 degrees.

KCI’s proof of the success of N-8028.

iron phosphate versus nano ceramic in a 1 stage system

The sample panel on the left was treated with an iron phosphate. The one on the right was treated with KCI’s N-8028. Both panels were painted with Universal Coatings black durethane paint. Both were tested for salt spray resistance of 100 hours. After doing a tape test, the paint totally pulled away from the surface of the panel on the left. The one on the right, KCI’s N-8028, exhibited excellent resistance to the tape test. No paint was released from that scribe.

cleaning capabilities of the nano ceramic coating

Cleaning

The two parts pictured are made up of cargo steel. This particular steel is a high carbon steel. When the steel is handled, the smut from the steel causes everything that comes in contact with it to turn black, including your hands. This particular customer was having problems cleaning steel. KCI’s N-8028 was effective at cleaning this particular steel at 30 feet per minute, and a temperature of 90 to 95 degrees. The parts were done in a 2 stage spray washer.

SAVINGS

KCI’S combined 80 degree cleaning and pretreatment system with nano ceramic coating technology can save you money.

Our customers are experiencing substantial savings of $10,000 to $20,000 per year by decreasing temperatures from 130 degrees to 80 degrees.

With the nano ceramic technology, we can reduce the number of stages being used which also adds to the savings and improves the quality of the pretreatment process.

Eco-friendly KCI’s nano ceramic coating is an excellent alternative for customers in areas where phosphates are not permitted, thus eliminating the need for costly removal of those phosphates.

By reducing the number of products that the manufacturer has to purchase, from 3 to 1, will also add to the savings. N-8028 cleans, coats, and seals all in one.
